In lieu of the article we published yesterday on the UFC raising the price of their PPVs starting with UFC 168, I thought it would be appropriate to hop in our time machine designed by H.G. Wells and take a trip back to UFC 96 inside the pre-fight media scrum on 2009. Dana White makes
No longer can I preface an article about Fedor Emelianenko with a ‘robot from the future’ reference coupled with some statement that links Fedor’s overhand right with some obscure section of quantum physics. Great, that makes my job a lot easier. Now I can stop going to the library to check out books about the
The UFC recently announced they will be relocating from one location in the Nevada desert to yet another location in the desolate, post-apocalyptic-like landscape of Las Vegas. Some turn-of-the-century settlers traversed the country from the East in an attempt to get to California and when they reached what’s now known as Las Vegas they just
Sh*t people tweeted @MiddleEasy during UFC on FOX 8, your chance to show the world how extraordinarily clever you are while under the influence of MMA (and possibly other substances).

I’ve never met a one-armed fighter but I’m fairly certain one can kick my ass since it involves the use of legs and not arms. In Las Vegas, slot machines are usually referred to as ‘one-armed bandits’ due to the single lever at the side of the machine and the tendency to take all the
Let me be the first to say if Jorge Santiago fought Misaki for the rest of his MMA career, I would be perfectly fine with it. We don’t need belts, just headline the seventeen One FC cards with Misaki vs. Santiago. That’s all I’m asking. After grabbing his second L in the UFC in 2011,
Yesterday marked the second time Dana White has witnessed the immensity of the Red MiddleEasy Monster, and both times he appeared to be grinning. Can Dana White truly appreciate the aesthetics of a red Monster when placed on a grass green shirt? Perhaps, I’m not sure. Questions like these are too complicated to answer on

There may be a reason why Khamzat Chimaev is struggling to make welterweight. Only two years ago, the UFC’s newest star, Chimaev made weight twice in less than ten days. In his UFC debut, Chimaev fought John Phillips at middleweight, and then ten days later, he dropped to welterweight successfully and fought Rhys McKee. Fast

The world of combat sports can’t escape the Island Boys. The Island Boys are a rap duo who have become quite polarizing.
